#4. David Teymur takes a page out of Conor McGregor's book

David Teymur picked up a catchphrase that Conor McGregor had used in his debut in the UFC. The up-and-coming Irishman had already charted a path to greatness at that point. McGregor recorded a decisive first-round KO/TKO against Marcus Brimage to announce his arrival in the UFC in April 2013.

In the aftermath of the fight, Conor McGregor dropped one of the most iconic lines of his career, saying, "Dana, 60 Gs baby!" David Teymur often repeated the line over the course of his career.

Teymur busted out his best impression of Conor McGregor following his win over Lando Vannata. The Swede recorded a unanimous decision victory over his UFC lightweight contemporary. His outing against Vannata marked his debut on a UFC pay-per-view.


#3. Jorge Masvidal donned a robe that was eerily similar to that of Conor McGregor

Jorge Masvidal kicked up a storm when he walked in to watch Conor McGregor butt heads with Donald Cerrone sporting a robe similar to the one the Irishman had previously worn.

McGregor was seen wearing a similar robe ahead of his fight against Floyd Mayweather in 2018. The Florida native's fashion choices prompted a short tirade from McGregor.

"Yeah I don’t know what that was about. Talk about blowing it, because that looked ridiculous to me. Was it my actual robe? Yeah it is the one, it was the black one. I don’t know. That’s a bit weird. I don’t give a f**k. Whatever," said McGregor.
